Swing Trading
Holding from days to weeks - catching mid-size waves.
Swing trader analyzes D1/H4, enters on bounces from key levels (EMA 50, Fib 0.618), holds 3-30 days with stop loss. Target: 5-30% per trade. Doesn't require constant presence like scalping. RR 2:1 or 3:1 - even 50% hit rate is profitable.
In plain words
You enter trades for 3 days-3 weeks, catching 10-25% moves on average. Check the chart daily, set a stop loss and wait.
Example
Long ETH 3.2k on EMA 50 bounce -> target 3.8k, stop 3.05k. RR 4:1, held 12 days.
